Hello Members,
I need help and I guess advice as well. My story I want a supercharger but the wifey is like no way are putting 7k to your car. LOL.
I currently have a Airaid cai( with no tune) MRT H pipe with a axle back Magna Flow. The sound is deep throaty. I want to change to a JLT CAI and install a Corsa off road long tube header. Then get a tune.
Ok can the Corsa headers fit with my current exhaust set up? Will it pass PA emissions? How loud will the car be with the headers installed? What tune do you guys recommend?
Thank you for any advice fellows?

Also how bout the ford Gt350 manifold, bigger throttle body and CAI with a tune.

So if you decide to go with the cars long tubes the MRT mid-pipe would not work, you need the corresponding mid pipe that comes with their headers system. In order to pass emissions, you'll probably need to go with a catted setup.

If your going to keep the resonators, and just do headers with cats. it will deepen the tone and increase the volume by a bit. How loud the car will ultimately be is going to depend primarily on your choice of axle-back.

If you have any questions on different setups, feel free to PM me.

Can you just squirrel away the GT350 mani, CAI and the Corsa money and eventually go FI? Because I can tell you that those two mods will NOT get you to the same power level as 8psi FI and definitely not 10psi Fi. You will still spend significant money on it unless you DIY everything. If you have zero cost beyond part cost thats only around $3000. But if you have to pay someone to do all the work and then the tuning you'll be at $4k territory easy.

To answer your questions:

1. I wouldn't bother changing CAI. Just get a tune. I doubt there is much diff in the two CAIs.

2. The Corsa will not pass emissions if your jurisdictions requires catalytic converters and emissions testing. I'm not familiar with PA rules, but being new england I assume draconian.

3. Headers will add a lot of sound, but your cat back will determine a lot of the noise level. If you're not straight pipe it shouldn't be that loud.

I'm in Pa (not far from you actually), I have Kook's headers with cats and an MBRP catback. If you don't drive it more than 5,000 miles between inspections, you won't need an emissions inspection in Pa. Mine is a toy, so I'm never over 5,000 miles each year. Lund tuned it, so I'm guessing it would pass, but never needed the emissions test. As for what oesman said, if you're chasing the BIGGER power, FI is the way to go. Not that staying N/A is a bad thing. I was at the point where I was ready to dump more money into an N/A set-up, but realized for the money spent for horsepower gained, going FI was clearly the better choice, FOR ME. I sold my GT350 IM and went with a supercharger.

Thank you guys for your help. I will do some deep thinking on this.
